Solid. A few specific changes below would lift it further.

Why it works

This build spends 5 points in Enhancement row 1 with 2/2 Earth's Grasp for wider Earthbind control and 3/5 Thundering Strikes for universal crit, then unlocks row 2 for 2/2 Improved Ghost Wolf and 3/3 Improved Lightning Shield. That gives the tools that matter most at 19: mobility, peel/control, passive damage when enemies train you, and enough crit to make shocks and weapon swings scary.

The gear is deliberately near the PvP toughness knee rather than pure glass cannon. The curve shows the efficient zone around balance 50–60: about 990–1040 HP from gear for only a 3–5% throughput loss. Pushing to balance 85 buys roughly +200 more HP but drops throughput to −16%, which is too much for a brawler that still needs kills. Key picks are Discarded Circlet, Clacking Carapace Spaulders, Corpsefeeder's Shedding, Overgrown Cuffs, Malignant Root, and Knucklebound Thimble: huge stamina with useful melee stats, mostly world-obtainable. Rage of the Storm is the weapon choice over the higher-DPS Wardcleaver because its slow 3.6 speed, +16 Strength, and +15 Stamina are ideal for twink PvP burst without becoming fragile. Use no off-hand because this is a two-hander setup.

Play by keeping Lightning Shield up, opening with Flame Shock to start pressure and stop resets, then using Earth Shock on cooldown for burst and caster disruption. Drop Earthbind aggressively, use instant Ghost Wolf to connect or escape, and save Greater Insignia for stuns/roots that would otherwise cost a fight. Transformative Cocoon is your panic reset or flag-route tool; time it when the self-stun will not get you killed.
